STOVE. Y

Specification of Letters Patent No. 2,851, dated November 12, 1842.

To all whom t may concern: Y

Be it known thatI, PHmET'Us PHILLIPS, of Middletown Point, in the county of Monmouth' and State of New Jersey, have'invented a new and useful Stove for Heating Apartments, in which stove'wood is to be employed as fuel; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full and exact description thereof.

The exterior of my'stove may be made either of sheet or cast iron, but its interior or chamber of combustion is composed of fire brick, soap stone or .other bad conductor of heat. The cross section of the stove will present the interior or fire chamber in the form of an oval or nearly so and the general outline of the exterior will correspond thereto. The air which is admitted into the fire chamber may enter through a single opening in the fire brick lining, which opening is in the middle of the hearth or lower part of the fire chamber, is narrow, and extends from front to back of the stove, or nearly so. Below this opening there is an ash drawer placed in the usual manner. The fuel is admitted through a doorway at one end of the stove and the draft of heated air which escapes from the-burning fuel passes rst horizontally through an opening or openings left in the lining of fire brick in the plane of a horizontal section through the middle of the fire chamber. It then descends between the fire brick lining and a metallic casing which surrounds the sides of the lower section of the fire chamber, say, at the distance of half an inch, more or less, from it: After passing down to the lower part of the stove it ascends through a space left between the re chamber and the metallic plates which constitute the exterior of the stove and nally escapes through a suitable exit pipe. For the purpose of allowing a direct passage from the fire chamber there are a number of openings left along the upper part of the arch of the said re chamber to which openings a sliding valve is adapted by means of which they may be entirely 0r partially closed.

In the accompanying drawing Figure 1 is a perspective view of my stove, the back plate andthe whole of the re brick or nonconducting material which constitutes4 the chamber of combustion being removed. Fig. 2 is a cross sect-ion of the stove in a vertical plane at or near its middle, showing also the fore end with its feeding door. Fig. 3

is a top view of the lower half of the fire* chamber showingthe bottom upon which the fuel rests' and the longitudinal opening* through ywhich air is admitted for the support of combustion together with a section of .the metallic portion of the stove. Fig. 4L is a top view of the upper section of the iire chamber shown as removed from the metal-y lic portion of the stove and exhibiting the openings forthe direct draft and which are to be governed by a sliding valve.

In the respective figures where like parts 1 are shown they are designated by the same letters of reference.

A,A, is the outer case or shell of the stove,

A beinga receptacle on its top into which Y pass on their way so .y

The lining of Afire brick or other material is represented in the drawing as consisting of'three Ypieces only, the lower part E, E,

uponwhich the fuel rests, being in two Y pieces, as show n in the section Fig. 2, the line of the opening D, D, separating these parts from each other. The upper portion F F, is represented as in one npiece, being arched, like a muftle as shown also in the section Fig. 2; Ff'being the fore end of said lining. This lining mayrhowever consist of any convenient number' of parts properly joined together. A flue space c, c, of half lining E, F, and the shell A, Vfor which purpose projecting ribs di, (l, are formed on the tire brick. The upper andV lower sections of the lining have also a Hue space e, e, left between them all around the inte-` rior and through this latter flue space the heated air and smoke are to pass on theirv way to the exit pipe. The upper portion of Van inch, more or less, is leftbetween the f the lining F, F, rests upon the upperedge Y of the partition f, f, thus preserving the iue space e, e. l

The draft through the space @,fe, doesnot pass'directly into the flue.k space 0 c, but is directed downward by a partition of sheet metal f,- je, fuif from the fire after.'passingV imj which surrounds the sides of the lower part of the brick lining at such distance as t0 leave a flue space g, g. After passing the lower edge of this partition it VVascends all around the stove into t-he receptacle A and passes ott' by the exit pipe. The entrance from the main body of the stove into the receptacle A maybe made through any part of their line of junction and I usually form this part in such a manner as that the. opening from A into A may be regulated at pleasure. The Inode of doing this isV shown in Fig. 5 which is a top view of' the. outer shell; with the receptacle A removed k, L, are sliding partitions which partially close the openingv z', 2', and these partitions being three or four in number may be shifted so as to direct the draft into4 eitherend or any part of the receptacle which shall be found to distribute the heat most equally. For admitting a direct draft from the lire chamber into the. receptacleA openings G, G, Vare made along the top of the upper re brick lining and these are governed by a suitable sliding valve by which they may be whollyor parti-ally opened or entirely closed in l manner well known. y

A store thus constructed will be. found to possess all the useful attributes ofv thev air tight stove as by making a closely ttingash drawer the fire may be retained in it for a great length of timel by the. aid ofV a quantity of unconsumed coals which may lie on each side of t-he draft opening D, D, out of its direct iniuence and which will therefore burn out veryslowly. The draft opening D, D, may if preferred be divided into. two or more parts.

Having thus fully described. the manner in which I construct and combine the re. spective parts of my stove and shown the operation of the same; what -I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is-.f

l. The manner of constructing the hearth or bottom of the fireA chamber, having for the purpose of compressing and strengthening-y the draft and bringing it more immediately in contact with the ignited fuel an aperture or apertures as shown at D, D Fig. 3 extendingnearly or quite through the middle thereof, lengthwise of the wood to be placed thereon, haring on one or both, sides of said aperture or apertures a. space for the retention of the ashes to preserve the coals for renewing the fire.

2. I claim also in combination with said aperture or. apertures the inclination of the Y hearth on the side or sides thereof to give the Vfuel and ashes a tendency thereto and to bring the greatest bulk or depth of fuel directly over said'aperture or apertures.

V3. I claim also the method herein described ofmaking the upper sections of the fire. brick or other lining represented by 4 havingV an aperture 'or apertures in they top of it for the direct upwardpassage of the heated and smoke as shown at Gr, Gr,

5. I also claim the method herein set forthV of directing the draftdownward by a plate or plates of cast iron or other materialiV ofA cylindrical or other. form, as shown at #Fig 2, closely connected with said lower edge of the upper toprevent the upwardpassage ofthe smoke and-heated on coming tov said edgeand to cause it to descend and pass from within said plate or plates nearl the lower part of the stove and rise to the Y upper part thereof between the lining and'- the material formingthe outer surface of the stove.

6. I alsoL claim the arrangement of the eztterio-r and lining of the stove as. shown in Fig. 2, such. as to. cause the smoke and heated air after leaving the chamber. `ofL combustion within the lining toL be formed into. a thin stratum between themv that the heat mayv bethus. the better radiated as` it rises tothe upper part of the stove.

7.. I; also. claim. the 'methodA of employing a ofire brick or other similar mate 775V i. lili rial respect to itsYA properties as a non-.con-4 Y' dnctor of heat serving to forni a passage. for Y a stratum of heated air as described in the speciication.

Y Si. I also claim. the-*combination of a door shown at B, designed when shutto.` exclude the an' as much as, may be,l with theaperf'-,

ture or. apertures in the hearth D, I), as. aforesaid and a. drawer underneath tore-V ceivel the ashes and to, regulate the admission of air for the, purpose of combustion,

9i, alsogclaim theconnectorr of seriesof' apertinesA the upper partY of the lining, as. shown atG, G, Figj 4, for the vertically up; ward passage of the smoke. and; heated air extending yin the direction of the aperture or apertures in the hearth as aforesaid with a damper or valve having Correspondingv apertures and whiche being drawn or pushed in a right line will open or. close them allyat once.
